| Description | Anti-CUGBP1 Antibody, clone 3B1 |
| Background Information | Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disease that is associated with a (CTG)n repeat expansion in the 3-untranslated region of the myotonin protein kinase (Mt-PK) gene. A (CUG)n oligonucleotides triplet repeat pre-mRNA/mRNA binding protein may play an important role in DM pathogenesis. HeLa cell protein, CUG-BP1, has been purified based upon its ability to bind specifically to (CUG)8 oligonucleotides in vitro. CUG-BP1 is the major (CUG)8 binding activity in normal cells. CUG-BP1 has been identified as isoforms of a novel heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP), hNab50. The CUG-BP/hNab50 protein is localized predominantly in the nucleus and is associated with polyadenylated RNAs in vivo. In vitro RNA-binding/photocrosslinking studies demonstrate that CUG-BP/hNab50 binds to RNAs containing the Mt-PK 3-UTR. |

|
| Entrez Gene Summary | Members of the CELF/BRUNOL protein family contain two N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains, one C-terminal RRM domain, and a divergent segment of 160-230 aa between the second and third RRM domains. Members of this protein family regulate pre-mRNA alternative splicing and may also be involved in mRNA editing, and translation. This gene may play a role in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) via interactions with the dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: Q92879 # RNA-binding protein implicated in the regulation of several post-transcriptional events. Involved in pre-mRNA alternative splicing, mRNA translation and stability. Mediates exon inclusion and/or exclusion in pre-mRNA that are subject to tissue-specific and developmentally regulated alternative splicing. Specifically activates exon 5 inclusion of cardiac isoforms of TNNT2 during heart remodeling at the juvenile to adult transition. Acts as both an activator and repressor of a pair of coregulated exons: promotes inclusion of the smooth muscle (SM) exon but exclusion of the non-muscle (NM) exon in actinin pre- mRNAs. Activates SM exon 5 inclusion by antagonizing the repressive effect of PTB. Promotes exclusion of exon 11 of the INSR pre-mRNA. Increases translation and controls the choice of translation initiation codon of CEBPB mRNA. Increases mRNA translation of CEBPB in aging liver (By similarity). Increases translation of CDKN1A mRNA by antagonizing the repressive effect of CALR3. Mediates rapid cytoplasmic mRNA deadenylation. Recruits the deadenylase PARN to the poly(A) tail of EDEN-containing mRNAs to promote their deadenylation. Required for completion of spermatogenesis (By similarity). Binds to (CUG)n triplet repeats in the 3-UTR of transcripts such as DMPK and to Bruno response elements (BREs). Binds to muscle-specific splicing enhancer (MSE) intronic sites flanking the alternative exon 5 of TNNT2 pre-mRNA. Binds to AU-rich sequences (AREs or EDEN-like) localized in the 3-UTR of JUN and FOS mRNAs. Binds to the 5-region of CDKN1A and CEBPB mRNAs. Binds with the 5-region of CEBPB mRNA in aging liver (By similarity). SIZE: 486 amino acids; 52063 Da SUBUNIT: Component of an EIF2 complex at least composed of CUGBP1, CALR, CALR3, EIF2S1, EIF2S2, HSP90B1 and HSPA5. Associates with polysomes (By similarity). Interacts with PARN. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=RNA-binding activity is detected in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. PTM: Phosphorylated. Its phosphorylation status increases in senescent cells. DISEASE:SwissProt: Q92879 # CUGBP1 may be involved in the mechanism of myotonic distrophy. It binds to the CUG repeat expansion of the CC untranslated region of the myotonin protein kinase (Mt-PK) gene. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q92879 ## Belongs to the CELF/BRUNOL family. & Contains 3 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains. |
